Wow, I saw this video ages ago but did not know the details. Now I do so thank you

Made me think of the film 'Scanners' for some reason. Must have been the slowed down footage in clip one.

Why are the cars different? In the beginning of the video are two police cars,then at the time of the explosion it is a dark green clunker.

Brian Douglas Wells (November 15, 1956 – August 28, 2003) was an American pizza delivery man who was killed by a time bomb fastened to his neck, purportedly under coercion from the maker of the bomb. After he was apprehended by the police for robbing a bank, the bomb exploded. The bizarre affair was subject to much attention in the mass media.
In a July 2007 indictment, federal prosecutors alleged that Wells had been involved in the planning of the botched crime. Two of his co-conspirators, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and Kenneth Barnes, were indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of bank robbery, conspiracy, and weapons charges. A third co-conspirator, William Stockton, was given immunity in exchange for his testimony. Kenneth Barnes subsequently pleaded guilty in September 2008 and largely confirmed that Wells was indeed involved in planning the robbery but also revealed Wells was under the impression an actual bomb would not be used. When he discovered the bomb was real, Barnes said a pistol was fired, and witnesses confirmed hearing a gunshot, in order to force Wells' compliance. On December 4, 2008, Barnes was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for his role in the robbery/murder by U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin.

My wife and I are watching a documentary on Brian Wells and the whole collar bomber thing and of course they didn't show him blow up. I come here and while watching the doc and found the footage!

Once again DR leaves me feeling satisfied.

(I normally don't bump up old posts but I saw it was bumped a couple times this year so why not)
